I very much enjoyed my experience at Whitefish Bay High School! As a student who went to Whitefish Bay schools from 5th grade through high school, I believe I was able to gain a well rounded view during my time there. Whitefish Bay has been known for some time as a quiet, affluent neighborhood that prides itself in being the home of one of the best public high schools in the state. Whitefish Bay High School does an exceptional job of getting their students to a college ready level in for years. As a result of being in a wealthy neighborhood, the community has been dedicated to ensuring that students at this school have all the resources necessary to be successful. The only downfall that I see is there is a complete lack of diversity in the school despite only being roughly 10 minutes from the inner city of Milwaukee.
This school is honestly the best school I could ever ask for, even though the course work is heavy on students, it prepares them for college in ways that no other high school in Wisconsin could, which is why we've rated the best high school academically. The teachers are nice and very helpful and the sporting events are always exciting especially the football games with the football players being well trained, I can say from experience. COME TO THE SCHOOL!
Academics are definitely strong here. The vast majority of students are well prepared for college by time of graduation. My main issue is that the administration's priorities are pretty weird. They were very reluctant to shut down the school amidst rising COVID numbers even though the school had dozens of cases and several teachers were leaving because they didn't feel safe. Even in normal years, they allocate a lot of funds to activities and athletics that struggle and neglect the successful ones. Finally, the most obvious critique is a lack of diversity, since Whitefish Bay as a town leans heavily wealthy and white.
